Sexual harassment

[QT_Melon]

My comments where more in aimed at the people who seemed to be saying that if harnessed the victims should turn the game.

I should also say that people saying this completely ignores the fact that SE also does events outside the game - be it Streams and Fanfest (Which the victims and the predator also attended).

The TMP case is more complicated as it really does look like a predator using the game and the community to find and groom vulnerable women, this is something that SE needs to have a policy on and take action over. Not sure what they can do but that is probably an issue for the management and legal team.

For the most part, I am in agreement with you. Though, the extent to the response that SE should give, I am more on-the-wall about. And I think this would fall more under the NA branch of Square, than it would on the company as a whole. My worry, if SE does decide to respond, brings me back to the whole Koike Incident and how the devs responded to the harassment that happened over that which is still felt today i.e. parsers (this is not a lead-in to a parse debate, so those against or for parsing, please don't turn this thread into that). I feel like the extent of what SE could do would be a global warning through the in-game chat log that they use for event announcements. The TMP situation is just ugly all around. The predator is totally at fault, yes, but because its now become a public spectacle, how the devs will choose to respond if they do at all worries me a little bit.
